MMM 160: Post-Superbowl Hangover Edition

Welcome to Monday.

As you read this, I’ll be out moving approximately 4 tons of snow the hard way. Well, the hard way would be barehanded, and I will be cheating by using a shovel.

Fortunately, I haven’t been working out at all lately, so this will probably kill me. At the very least I’m going to have to burn precious vacation time to take care of it. I’d wanted to do this today, of course, but the snow came 12 hours late. I spent an hour digging in the middle of the storm so Benny could go outside without swimming in it. It’s well over his head.

Stockings aren’t proper workout gear, but you knew that.

Those hoop earrings aren’t really good gym garb either.

    We slept in till 0700. Paula woke up in a panic that the kids were late for school (no snow yet). With one kid in the shower and one struggling to get dressed she realized school was cancelled. Dogs were barking, lights were on, voices were raised….yeah, I’m up now.

    I had the weirdest dream last night…

    Pete Carroll, the coach of Marshawn Lynch and the rest of the Seahawks was throwing a pass on a 2nd and goal from the one yard line. And it got intercepted by the Patriots to end the game.

    Man, something was off in that salsa I guess…

  19. Comment by Jay in Ames on February 2, 2015 9:06 am

    No snow day here. Was late to work, because everyone left their driving skills in a snowbank somewhere. 25mph, really?

    I had the same thought as I drove to the dump yesterday. The road it’s on is bordered by towering evergreens and following Saturday’s storm it was beautiful (the road to the transfer station, not the actual transfer station!)

    That’s good jimebro. You should just investigate if they will lower your rate. they begged me to stay saying that they would offer me $14/mo but I told them no because of their trickery in raising rates unannounced. I would feel differently if they had sent me an email to the effect, “Hey, Jackee. we are jacking you for twice the introductory rate effective immediately.”

    I’m glad it pencils for you. I have too much to read as it is.

  151. Comment by xbradtc on February 3, 2015 1:49 am

    Any interesting maneuvers in the hop? Hi yo-yo? Lag pursuit roll?

  152. Comment by phat on February 3, 2015 2:02 am

    Xbrad,

    Last night was the maneuver val, where it’s the standard emergency stuff: engine failures, aborts, fires, go-around’s, etc. iI’s a busy, stressful 4 hours.

    Tonight was the ‘line oriented evaluation’. You get handed the paperwork for a normal flight, brief it up and the hop into the sim to ‘fly’ it.

    The point of the check ride is that some minor things go wrong, systems malfunctions (but nothing that would drive you to declare an emergency), weather diverts, etc.

    It’s an evaluation of how you work as a crew to solve problems and follow SOP’s. It was a fair scenario and we did good.

  153. Comment by xbradtc on February 3, 2015 2:10 am

    So what you’re saying is, you can’t remember how/when to use a hi yo-yo.

  154. Comment by xbradtc on February 3, 2015 2:21 am

    I’ll have to send you a copy of Shaw’s fighter tactics.

  155. Comment by phat on February 3, 2015 2:37 am

    Xbrad,

    I was air to mud, not air to air.

    The hi yo yo is basically the front half of the ‘Cuban eight’.

    A variation of the WW I era Immelmann, but it allows you to reverse course without going inverted and keep eyes on target.

    We did something similar in the Hog to quickly return to the target, but we had to keep our energy state higher. Depending on airspeed/altitude it could be anything from a level 6g turn to a modified yo yo.

    Damn, been 20 years since I’ve thought about this.

  158. Comment by xbradtc on February 3, 2015 3:02 am

    It’s an out of plane turn to prevent overshooting the enemy, and generally gain angles. The Low Yo Yo generates closure. The High Yo Yo is an energy fighter’s means of turning with an angle fighter.

  159. Comment by xbradtc on February 3, 2015 3:04 am

    Phat, I loaned Hugh Hewitt my copy of a biography of Boyd, and that fucker still hasn’t returned it.

    And yeah, I was reading Whittle back when EEE was the only place to find him.

  160. Comment by phat on February 3, 2015 3:14 am

    The thing that has always surprised me about Boyd is that the Marines were the first to embrace his ‘OODA Loop’ concept.

    Not only quick to embrace it, but to modify it for ground combat. That was genius.

    Obviously, I was never a fighter pilot, but I wish my dad (F-100’s in Vietnam) was still alive so i could ask him if he’d ever heard of Boyd and what he he thought about the concepts.

    No one here knew my dad, but for me that’s an interesting thought experiment.

  161. Comment by xbradtc on February 3, 2015 3:20 am

    Phat, as much as I admire Boyd, his following is approaching cult like status, where they chant OODA! and that’s the end of the discussion.

    Funny thing is, the Army’s AirLand Battle doctrine was very OODA-ish in emphasising agility as a mental as well as physical property, and did it independently of Boyd, and in many ways, before Boyd clarified his thesis (or really, his slideshow, which is the only way it was ever truly presented). The Army was talking about being inside a decision cycle (though using different terms) long before Boyd.

  162. Comment by phat on February 3, 2015 3:37 am

    Xbrad,

    I agree.

    Whenever leadership starts incorporating combat doctrine into in-garrison stuff it leads to problems. The AF was notorious for it.

    Patton was the Boyd of his era. I wonder how he would have molded Army tactics had he not died so tragically.

  163. Comment by phat on February 3, 2015 3:48 am

    Patton had an instinctive feel for the battlefield. Bradley had an intellectual grasp of it. No one was better at sizing up where the key point of the battle was. There was a reason Ike put Brad over Patton.

    I’ve been reading PW since … shit … I don’t know when? I started reading Ace a few months after THAT began, and PW right around the same time. He’s threatened several times through the years, with exactly the same sort of missive. Not that I’m saying he doesn’t mean it.

    BUT, to me – the fact that there is a “shut out” in the blogsphere is immaterial to me. What should that matter? He certainly has the highest cumulative IQ per reader on the internet.

    So, some guy in Detroit, who works in a suburb, has a car breakdown problem that he doesn’t have the money to fix, so for like ten years he walks 21 miles each day to get to work – never missed a day. Real gumption.

    How do my friends on the left respond?

    We are beyond the point where this is fixable.

  290. Comment by scott on February 3, 2015 9:16 pm

    That is bullshit. If you walk really fast you can cover 21 miles in about 6 hours.

    Between walking and work, that would leave 3 hours for sleep.

    Who walks 6 hours to sleep for 3?

    Even with a pack, the Army expects you to march at 4mph. So call it 5 hours, 15 minutes, one way. That’s 10:30 a day walking. Minus 8 hours for work. That’s 5:30 left in a day.

  296. Comment by lauraw on February 3, 2015 9:27 pm

    Story has been revised. Now he only walks one near-marathon each day, instead of two. In manageable chunks.

    “Robertson starts his daily commute by riding a SMART bus from Woodward near Holbrook in Detroit to a bus stop near Somerset Collection, an upscale mall in Troy. From there he walks about 7 miles — regardless of the weather — to the factory. At the end of his 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. shift, he foots it back to the mall and catches the last bus in to Detroit, taking him to the State Fairground at the city’s border. From there he walks home in the dark, about 5 miles.”

    It’s twenty one miles total each day, not twenty one miles each way, but still. Eight hours of working, plus six miles walking, plus another two hours on busses, equals about eight hours to live, eat, and sleep.

    Like I said – gumption.

    He is trying to overthrow the government of Egypt, Again.
    The intention being to put the Brotherhood back in control.

    Obama has sent his campaign-staff to Israel to open offices and recruit people to go door-to-door in a campaign against the Likud party and Bibi! They are working to overthrow the government of Israel!

    He has sent other campaign workers to do the same in Canada, to overthrow Harper and the conservatives!

    What the hell is that SCoaMF doing, and why is it any of his fukcing business, and Why The Fcuk are not the “Establishment Republicans” impeaching, trying, and convicting him for his unconstitutional acts, and treason in time of war?

  414. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 2:30 am

    Yeah. What type of airframe? It looks like it’s too big for the engines.

    When I was an aircraft engineer I designed all of my planes with at LEAST eleven jet engines and seven rocket engines. Of course I was five years old then, but my planes flew, man. They flew forever.

    They flew forever.

  415. Comment by xbradtc on February 4, 2015 2:53 am

    That’s a French ATR-72. Not a bad little plane, but not one of my faves.

    My planes were usually nuclear powered.

  416. Comment by xbradtc on February 4, 2015 2:54 am

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATR_72

  417. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 2:59 am

    From your link:
    The ATR aircraft does not have an auxiliary power unit (APU) as normally equipped. The APU is an option and would be placed in the C4 cargo section. Most air carriers normally equip the aircraft with a propeller brake (referred to as “Hotel Mode”) that stops the propeller on the No. 2 (right) engine, allowing the turbine to run and provide air and power to the aircraft without the propeller spinning.

    Hmmm. Problem?

  418. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 3:01 am

    I’m just practicing my HTML and my aircraft disaster forensics.

    It’s not funny that people lost their lives.

  419. Comment by xbradtc on February 4, 2015 3:11 am

    Doubtful. I can think of a lot of other things going wrong that are far more likely.

  420. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 3:33 am

    I’m sure.

    That plane looks like it may just fall out of the sky, but I know it must have been extraordinary circumstances which made it so.

    I remember once in ’75, my ma and sis and I were driving north on I15 on the east side of Miramar. I was laying down across the back seat of her Nova (’68!) looking up at the clouds pass by when I saw a man in a flight suit coming down with a parachute.

    I remember his face mask. He was like ’30 feet above me. I just looked at him and he seemed to be looking at me, floating there in the sky. I sat up and watched him pound into the brown grass on the west side of the freeway and then I saw his burning plane, wadded into the fence about 300 yards away.

    I remember it like it happened this afternoon.

  421. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 3:34 am

    What kind of jet do you think that was, X?

  422. Comment by xbradtc on February 4, 2015 3:39 am

    In 1975, probably an F-4, maybe an F-8, possibly an F-14 or even conceivably an A-4.

  423. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 3:53 am

    There was a second parachute too, further east. It was surreal. Of course back in those days, it was around 1100, there wasn’t but a few other cars. There wasn’t a big traffic jam or a bunch of panic. I asked Mom what happened and she said that the plane crashed and just kept driving.
    Today, as well you know, a person might sit in dead traffic for 30 min or more simply because an officer has made a traffic stop and is writhing a simple ticket.

    The police would also write the pilots a ticket for illegal parking.

  426. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 4:30 am

    Hey. I bet this is the incident. it was ’78 not ’75.

    A USN Grumman F-14A Tomcat, BuNo 158995, ‘NK 106’, of VF-1, crashes and catapults across scrub grass to come to rest against a concrete highway divider on CA-163, the Cabrillo Freeway, on approach to NAS Miramar, San Diego, California, exploding in flames. Both crew members eject seconds before impact; one fatality, no civilian deaths.

  427. Comment by Mr. Chumpo on February 4, 2015 4:32 am

    I wonder how I could contact that jock and tell him that I saw him in the sky?

    I know a guy that was in VF-1 around that time. I’ll check with him and see if he remembers Brian Shaw.
